Here are the steps you should follow to download Funtoo Linux stage3 tarball. If you need an install CD, please see [[Funtoo Linux Installation]] for Live Media recommendations. Funtoo Linux currently doesn't have its own LiveCD, but there are many that you can use for installation.

'''Now you'll first need to pick a ''build'' of Funtoo Linux to install.''' Builds are like different versions of Funtoo Linux. Our '''funtoo-current''' build is the most up-to-date and recommended build. We also offer '''funtoo-stable'''. Both current and stable share the use the same Portage tree (package repository), but newer packages are unmasked (made available for install) in '''funtoo-current'''.

There is also a '''funtoo-experimental''', which contains our experimental development work. As you might guess, funtoo-experimental is for developers and testers only, and it has its own experimental Portage tree that is separate from the others.

If you don't know which one to choose, pick '''funtoo-current'''.

Picked one? Great! Open a mirror in a new window, and select the appropriate build directory from the list.

== Next... pick an arch ==

'''Next, it's time to pick an ''architecture'''''. If you have a modern 64-bit PC-compatible desktop or server, you generally want '''x86-64bit'''. If you have an older 32-bit PC-compatible desktop or server, you'll want to use '''x86-32bit'''. Also an option for 64-bit x86 systems.

We also bundle virtualization directories alongside the architecture directories, so if you want to install an [[OpenVZ]] container of Funtoo Linux, select '''openvz''', then pick the correct ''architecture'' within. Likewise, if you're looking for a [[VagrantUp|Vagrant]] run image of Funtoo Linux, look in the '''vagrant''' directory.

If you are installing Funtoo Linux on a Sparc64 system, choose '''sparc-64bit'''.

== Now... select a sub-arch ==

+

−

+

−

Now, you'll need to pick a ''sub-architecture'' of Funtoo Linux that suits your needs. A sub-architecture is a build of Funtoo Linux that is optimized for your particular CPU.

+

−

+

−

If you are building a Linux-based appliance or grabbing an image for mass-deployment, you might want to choose a generic sub-architecture that will be compatible with a wide range of processors. Otherwise, choose the most optimized sub-architecture that your processor supports.

Note that we offer the greatest number of choices for '''funtoo-current'''. Other builds will have a more limited number of sub-arches available.
